5.0 out of 5 stars Bravo!, November 18, 1999

This review is from: The Best of Vivaldi (Audio CD)

This CD -- which includes Vivaldi's Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter ensembles -- is an authentic recreation of Vivaldi's work. The St. Petersberg orchestra resisted the temptation to improvise and played the music as it was printed on the sheet -- and play it well they did. The beautiful lilting cadence that results will have Vivaldi lovers yelling Bravo!
